As opposed to the millions of people who are about to become reliant on the healthcare systems? We need new workers, and whether we like to admit it or not, Canadians don't like working dirty jobs.

I mean, even though shrimp are arthropods like insects, with shrimp you typically remove the head, legs, and digestive tract before eating them. The tail's usually the only thing left.

I just can't over eating them with all their organs and poo still inside them.

Does the combat ever get better? I've tried restarting FF7 Remake 6 or 7 times - no exaggeration - and the combat just feels so boring. I think it comes down to the large health pools of the enemies which might have been needed for turn based action, but with real-time combat it's just a slog.

I've seen quite a few posts and articles recently citing the Canadian Taxpayer Federation. I want to provide some information about who the CTF is, according to Wikipedia:

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF; French: Fédération canadienne des contribuables) is a federally incorporated, non-profit organization in Canada. The Federation describe as a populist "citizens advocacy group" but critics accuse it to be an astroturf organization.

They have 5 members, or board of directors, who decide the direction of the organization. Many of their directors go on to or come from conservative, separatist, or far-right political parties. A number have gone on to be editors for right wing media such as the Toronto Sun and the National Post.

So when they say "x% of Canadians disagree with [liberal policy], just keep in mind who their respondents are and what the organizations here to do.

So if someone rents out a room in their home they shouldn't be able to deny you because you have kids... Rent control and tenancy rights are fine but a line needs to be drawn

Allow me to be the devil's advocate: low salaries for our MPs would lead to either wealthy people taking office, or people supplementing their income with lobby money and self interests outside politics. Neither of these are good things, so unfortunately a high salary (which is like, $100,000 + a parliamentary bonus) is the compromise.

I'm taking this to mean that more money is ending up in the hands on banks and landlords, not that the employees have more exposable income.

I would have been hyped for this before the time of predatory microtransactions. Now I'm just bummed to see how shit it'll be
